01Base & active

Grass-Fed Bison Tallow

Bison bison adipose

The star ingredient. Rendered from the fat of Canadian grass-fed bison, tallow is rich in fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K. Its fatty acid profile — oleic, palmitic, and stearic acids — closely mirrors human sebum, making it deeply nourishing without clogging pores.

Why it's here: Biocompatible with skin, absorbs without residue, and delivers nutrients that synthetic moisturizers simply can't replicate.

02Botanical active

Frankincense Essential Oil

Boswellia sacra

Steam-distilled from the resin of wild-harvested Boswellia trees, frankincense has been used for centuries for its skin-renewing properties. Rich in boswellic acids, it supports cell regeneration, reduces the appearance of fine lines, and calms inflammation at a cellular level.

Why it's here: A potent anti-aging and anti-inflammatory botanical. Used at a skin-safe concentration to promote tone, elasticity, and a clear complexion.

03Carrier & balance

Organic Jojoba Oil

Simmondsia chinensis seed oil

Technically a liquid wax, jojoba is the closest plant-based match to human sebum. It's non-comedogenic, shelf-stable, and helps balance oil production for all skin types.

Why it's here: Extends the balm's spreadability and helps regulate the skin's natural oil balance.

04Botanical active

Organic Lavender Essential Oil

Lavandula angustifolia

Steam-distilled from organic lavender flowers. Lavender is one of the most well-studied essential oils — with documented calming, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial properties.

Why it's here: Adds a gentle, natural scent and supports skin calm. Used at a skin-safe concentration of under 1%.
